Hello, again! Here's the angsty Friday one! I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I own nothing, except the words on the page.
So here's the fourth :)
4. Rest
"If it is any consolation," L says calmly once they enter the limo and settle down after the Interpol meeting, "You have a higher IQ than them."
"Shut up, Ryuuzaki." Light snaps.
"And, if they understood your situation they might not have said what they did."
"They were talking about my execution, L! They- they wanted you to kill me. They said it right in front of my face! 'Just to be safe..'," Light growls before speaking in a voice high with anger, "Those bastards have no respect for human life."
L says nothing while Light rants, and Light feels like he is being ignored so he hits L on the arm, "Hey? Aren't you listening to me?"
"You are a hypocrite, Light-kun." L says softly.
The heated anger drains from Light's system, "What?"
"If it were anyone else, you would be on Interpol's side."
Light sighs, distraught, because he knows L is right. He leans his head against the back of the seat as the limo lurches, and he closes his eyes. Then he says, in an almost miserable voice, "But this is my life..."
There is silence for a few moments and then L's fingertips brush Light's.
"I won't let them hurt you, Light-kun."
If you're out there, my readers, please drop a review! (Luv you recca!)
